Hello Everyone! Just wanted to let you all know about a fantastic, all-natural health and beauty product a client of mine (thank you, Kim) recently turned me on to. The product is called "Crystal Body Deoderant Stick". It is made from 100% natural mineral salts which eliminate odor by leaving an invisible protective barrier against odor causing bacteria versus traditional deoderants which contain harmful chemicals (such as aluminum chlorohydrate) designed to simply mask odor. It is fragrance free, non-sticky, non-staining, leaves no white residue and can be used by both men and women. It is endorsed as a safe, effective deoderant by cancer treatment centers and medical professionals worldwide, has been rated #1 by the Environmental Working Group for having the safest ingredients among natural deoderants and among mainstream commercial deoderants, and has won multiple awards. Crystal is not tested on animals and is 100% completely safe for the environment. I admit I was skeptical at first but have testing it for several months now and have since become a believer. So too has my husband, who normally opts not to wear deoderant due to the staining it causes on his shirts. However, after seeing the great results I had, he tried it too. We now each have one for our gym bags and one for home. Crystal sells its products through over 20,000 stores across the US and Canada, Europe, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. the U.S. Log on to their website at: www.thecrystal.com to learn more about this product as well as where to buy. To your health -- Jenny

I was a competitive athlete for 30+ years in a variety of sports including swimming, gymnastics, dancing, soccer, diving, track, bicycle motorcross, triathlon, long-distance running, and adventure racing until chronic injuries and a string of ill-fated surgeries forced me to "retire". Those 30+ years gave me a lifetime love for health and fitness and set me on my path to help others cultivate, maintain and expand their own fitness level as well as provide a solid understanding of and love for fitness and wellness in their own lives. I began my career as a fitness instructor in 1986 as a competitive, women’s gymnastics coach and choreographer. After graduating from college I earned my primary certification as a Group Fitness Instructor and began teaching fitness classes. Throughout the next decade I continued teaching and acquiring more advanced and varied group fitness certifications as well as a Personal Trainer certification. I also began teaching private swim lessons to competitive swimmers and triathletes. In 2000 I made the decision to become a full-time fitness professional and began teaching at a private club. In the years since, I've continued to acquire more trainings and certifications in various disciplines including STOTT PILATES® (Matwork, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, Barrels), TRX® Force™ Suspension System Training, POSE® Method Running, Injuries and Special Populations, and Polynesian Dance. I have taught at colleges, private clubs, nation-wide chains, military bases, and out of my own home studio in locations all across the U.S. and overseas. I've worked with children as young as 6 years old and adults as old as 91. I've trained post-surgical/post-rehab clients, new moms wanting to lose those last few baby pounds, grandparents who just want to be fit enough to play with the grandkids, serious athletes, and long-time exercisers stuck in a rut and looking for new and fun ways to stay fit. I have had the unique opportunity, honor and privilege to train active duty soldiers, reservists, Special Ops members, and Wounded Warriors. Because of my own experience with injuries, chronic and acute, I am well acquainted with both the physical as well as mental challenges injured individuals face; all of which has led me to explore and become quite knowledgeable in the areas of nutrition, myofascial release, Gyrotonics / Gyrokinesis, mindfulness and meditation,and stress management -- all of which I incorporate into my work with clients. My desire is to help people achieve optimal physical function and health (whatever that may be for each individual); to equip them with the desire and knowledge neccessary for a lifetime of healthy living; to better equip and enable each individual to fulfill the purposes God has for them by being as healthy as possible; and live life to the fullest. I look forward to working with you!”
